question re d606 tire............
The D606 is not a street tire, it s one of the most aggressive DOT-legal
knobbies in the market. But many of us have many thousands of miles of
street use on D606s. They do last well for a knobbie (3500 miles out of a
rear, maybe 5K from a front) and will corner quite well once you get used to
the slightly squirmy feel when your lean angle puts the bike onto the
outermost knobs (which are about the width of the other knobs). I run
them at 32PSI on the front and 35PSI on the rear for street use, dropping as
low as 10 PSI offroad depending on load (usually don t get below 15 PSI).
D606s are noisy in use on the highway, especially once the front knobs
develop some braking-induced, ramp-shaped wear. Once this wear has become
obvious the front will howl at highway speed when going straight. Crank in
just a bit of lean and the howl goes away. Or adopt as mantra loud tires
save lives and learn to live with the sound
I ve been running a D606 rear with a TKC80 front lately and like that
combination since the front TKC80 does not produce the howling noise and the
front TKC80 lasts me longer than a D606. I had preferred TKC80s front and
rear until the discovered the D606 rear outlasts the TKC rear in my type of
riding.

Subject: [DSN_KLR650] Question re D606 Tire............
For those of you who have used the Dunlop D606, I have a question, please;
"How good are the D606 on the highway?" One review says that, "the D606's
tread compound is engineered for good highway durability and grip"..........
seems like it would be like riding on a zipper at highway speeds (ie, it
would shake you to death?). I do like what one of our fellow posters pointed
out, that is, that you can ride them even when they go flat.
So, to those of you who have used D606 tires, what are they like on the
highway? BTW, I use my KLR as a street/highway daily rider. Thats why I want
the feel of a street tire.
Eddie
